Up three points with 17 seconds remaining, Tonganoxie High senior forward Roni Grizzle grabbed an offensive rebound, drew a foul, went to the line and sank both of her free throws to seal a 47-42 victory against Bishop Ward.

The freebies gave Grizzle seven fourth-quarter points and a game-high 19.

When the forward wasn’t scoring in the paint or getting to the foul line, she was setting up the Chieftains’ perimeter game. Grizzle assisted on all three of Tonganoxie’s long-distance makes, hitting junior guard Andie Jeannin on two three-pointers and finding Lauren Hall for another.

THS (13-5) trailed briefly in the second quarter but Jeannin hit two free throws to cut Ward’s lead to two and Grizzle tied the game at 21 with a steal and a layup. Junior forward Abby Eisman knocked down a jumper with 20 seconds left in the second quarter and Tonganoxie led the rest of the way.
